My godfather works at a dealership where I got my car from and they had an 04 clean GTO there and I was so tempted until...

Well I got the 2000 Formula.

I'm not pissed. I love my GTO. In terms of comfort/fit and finish it's easily better than the Camaro/Trans Am/mustang/corvette etc...... especially when it comes to being a daily driver. All I have is full exhaust, cai, dyno tune and she puts out 339 rwhp/355 rwtq

When we built our new parking lot at work we had to make a special extra wide and long parking space for me to park my Yacht, I mean GTO in, it had to be poured extra deep too to support all the weight.



slow POS... lol

GTO's are slow so you don't actually have to worry about anchoring it to anything. Securing stuff is due to the assumption that 1. it is actually worth keepingggggg. 2. It actually has the ability to get away. GTO's lack the ability to get out of thier own way more or less the where with all to get away from anything. Both points prove there is no need to secure them. Glad I could help guys. No need to thank me.

When the 04 goats came out.... and those marketing vids with the low vroom vroom vroom vids and proclamation that GTO IS BACK.. holy crap I was drooling. Same **** with the 05' mustangs... marketing bs.

I still love the GTO for it's mechanical potential. I'm a GTO fan no doubt. You don't see many of them on the road but when you do it commands respect. Great car.

If I had to relinquish my S197 an 06' GTO would be my next purchase unless these new camaros are the ****..

With the LS3... it just may be. we'll soon see..
